    Visa to Russia

    You need a visa to Russia if you are going there for tourism, business visits, study, work, family visits or other permitted purposes. The type of visa you need depends on your nationality, how long you are going to stay, and why you are traveling, among other things.

    At Alla Visum you can quickly and easily start your application for a visa to Russia. Select the visa type, fill out the form, and upload the required documents. We review the documentation, help you through the process and make sure that your application is handled correctly before the trip.

    When do I need a visa for Russia?

    Swedish citizens need a visa to travel to Russia, regardless of whether the trip is for tourism, business visits, family visits, studies or work. Visas must usually be approved before departure.

    Russia offers electronic visas for citizens of selected countries, including Sweden, for short stays. For longer stays, work, study or other special purposes, a traditional visa is required. The final decision on entry is always made by Russian border and immigration authorities.

    Note: The above information applies to Swedish passport holders. Other nationalities may have different requirements. Some travelers may need to apply for a visa in advance or provide additional documents when applying.

    Requirements vary depending on the type of visa, nationality, and purpose of travel. Common documents are a valid passport, completed visa application, visa photo, flight booking or travel confirmation, proof of accommodation, financial documentation, invitation letter or tourist voucher if relevant, travel insurance and any additional documents requested by the Russian authorities.
